haha yeah I could argue it til I'm blue in the face so I'll keep this very very brief: season 5 did an incredible job of balancing both science and faith, fate and free will, and making it beautifully literal with how it presented time travel. I don't really like that the last season was an extended riff on faith…

yeah! plus, considering how much season 6 was designed to parallel season 1 (right down to EPISODE TITLES), wouldn't it make sense to end them in much the same way?

sure, but it wouldn't be so hard to make Christian into lost luggage jack had to go pick up a few days later. Especially since it's THE VERY ENDING and effectively summarizing what the whole series was about. I can forgive sketchier plot if it makes for a strong final statement.

ha, yeah. it's not an easy show to judge against itself because it was so consistently good through the whole run.

hey HUGE spoilers regarding the last ten minutes of the series:

juliet going out with the words "son of a bitch" is a contender for one of my favourite little nods in the series. just beautiful.

this one is subjective (well, so is everything) but I will argue Breaking Bad really knew how to deal its payoff for EVERYTHING and I think it handled it masterfully. OH and fucking MORAL OREL.

ex girlfriend is a really good analogy, especially with the slightly abusive frustrating aspects of the show. I've also likened it to being in a super positive mormon family who you love a lot/loves you a whole lot, but then you turn 19 or 20 and start having doubts about faith and all of a sudden it feels like they…

one of the lines that really sticks with me every time I think about ex girlfriends is sawyer's speech about how important he thought she was, but now he can barely even remember what she looked like

I work on comics and my girlfriend works at shoppers drug mart. I am a leech

UNACCEPTABLE

yeah season 6 is INSANELY self-congratulatory and very much in love with itself, and I think that got in the way of them remembering to tell a good story. while I think aspects of jacob/man in black had been planned for a very long time, I think they would have been better served in a show that ran for 2 or 3 seasons…

oh my GOD I forgot how much I loved sawyer and juliet, fuck FUCK

liked for "scrawlhim".

I'm scared to start it with my girlfriend. it was a deeply personal story to me that I loved a LOT as it was airing, and got really intensely defensive about until the aimless final season proved how insanely aimless it was in the finale (the last ten minutes aside, I don't think the finale itself is the main problem…

it really, really is. while it doesn't completely resolve everything, it leaves them unresolved in a fun "so did it work or not??" way and actually seems to tie all the plotlines together in a MORE satisfying, coherent manner for me.

I have seasons 1-4 on DVD and 5 and 6 on blu ray, and I've watched the CRAP out of the first 5. I don't know if I've even ever opened 6.

joel's boobs are so big in that picture I'm almost into it.

your questions were probably my favourite ones I was asked so I was inevitably the slowest to reply to them.

I don't have money or I'd own gojira by now. sad emoticon.
